After initially in stalling the ITBs, the car did run with the stock DME however, as expected, it was "meh".
So finally got myself into going standalone. Choose the AEM EMS4 for cost / simplicity. Removed all the old engine wiring. Accessed the bottom of the cubby hole for the stock ECU and put a hole w/ grommet to pass the new loom through. ECU in the glovebox for access to CAN BUS / USB / Fuses. Then started to cannibalize the stock wiring components to run the harness. Getting closer!
Going with standard issue VAG coil on plug. Need to razor a small amount of the boot down for them to actually click onto the spark plug.
Waiting on the wideband to arrive.
